audiopreview is a command-line tool that plays
previews of many audio file types (Ogg, MP3, etc.),
video file types (AVI, MPEG, Real, etc.), and Internet
streams. It can also be used as a regular command-line media file player (i.e. play the files entirely like yauap or mpc123 would).

pyReScene is a tool that recreates original RARs by backing up the metadata. It is a port of ReScene .NET to Python. It provides a mechanism for backing up and restoring the metadata from "scene" released RAR files. RAR archive volumes are rebuilt using the stored metadata in the SRR file and the files extracted from the RAR archive. pyReScene consists of multiple related tools: pyReScene Auto to create a complete SRR with one simple command, pyReSample to recreate sample files, and pyReScene Usenet to create SRR files on the fly from Usenet postings. Lots of other small scripts for managing SRR and SRS files are available too.
